She is a survivor, she was raped and impregnated at 19 by a music producer and is now an advocate. This is how leaders act! They don’t call 12 year old victims liars!

🚨NEW: Polling still shows us ahead of Anna Paulina Luna!🚨 Tampa Bay voters are fed up with Luna’s extremism and corruption, and this race is going to come down to every single vote. Make sure you have a plan to vote, because every ballot matters and your voice is critical. Check for polling places near you, how to request to vote by mail, and find an early vote location at vote.org/florida!

Highlights from yesterday’s book workshop at Worcester College, Oxford, for Professor Stephanie Barclay’s forthcoming book, Constitutional Rights in a Democracy. Over the course of a full day, distinguished judges, professors, and other scholars from across the United Kingdom, Canada, Spain, and the United States engaged with the manuscript chapter by chapter. They explored principles of democracy and good governance, the nature of constitutional adjudication, constitutional design, and the understanding of constitutional rights as protected reasons. Thanks to those who joined us for a rigorous exchange of ideas and incredibly valuable feedback. @shbarclay @GeoffSigalet @revdlaura @PiaChible @PieroRios13 @HPMHall @aacostamasso @GeorgetownLaw @ucl @UBC @BalliolOxford @NottmTrentUni @unav @TrinityOxford @PKUSTL @UniofOxford @StJohnsOx @OxfordLawFac @Cambridge_Uni @WorcCollegeOx @derecho_unav

And, per one of his close friends, the Judge I clerked for, Edward Weinfeld, his friends called him "B."
Some people think that Learned Hand had the perfect name for a judge. But "Learned" was the judge's middle name, not his first name. Hand's real first name was better suited for a lawyer: Billings.

More evidence that as @jamalgreene has written, rights have gone wrong. Liberals used to think rights were inherently virtuous, but every virtue when taken to extremes becomes a vice.
How does adding more rights to a constitution impact the rule of law? In a new paper, Mila Versteeg and I argue that the proliferation of rights in many countries over the last few decades may have helped to erode the rule of law.

Developed a new assignment for my constitutional law class this term to help students better understand the development of doctrine and relationship among cases. Shared here in the event others want to borrow/adapt.

A second year college student asked @ellisaslotkin and the panel: "Who's going to tell her. Someone has to tell Kamala Harris not to run." Wow. Just wow.

North Carolina A&T students marched an hour each way to vote on the first day of early voting after their campus polling site was removed by the Guilford County Elections Board. Proud 👏🏽

You can not fix something if you are not listening. In FL-13, our neighbors are tired of politicians like @VoteAPL who are absent and self-interested. In Congress, we are going to end corruption and cut costs — because that’s what our neighbors need.

This is the SG team’s next investigation. We will hold big tech companies accountable when they endanger children.
BREAKING: Our office has launched an investigation into TikTok because parents deserve to know what their kids are being exposed to and how these platforms may be putting them at risk. We won’t tolerate companies that profit from addictive design at the expense of kids’ mental health. We will never stop fighting to protect young consumers online.

One of the best ads of the cycle for @ZachDemboKY in KY 06 by Declaration Media, a super star Democratic media firm. It is both "sticky" because voters will remember Grandma, but the message takeaway is "costs, costs, costs." Win. WIn. Brilliant
#KY06: D candidate Zach Dembo is up on TV with this spot -- Dembo in barn to camera: "I'm Zach Dembo and this is my grandma. Ma, when I told you I was running for Congress, what'd you say?" Ma: "You're crazy" Dembo: "No, no, after that" Ma: "Costs, costs, costs, this is what you focus on"

This is the kind of ad that every Dem in a red state should be running. (In Maine, it should be people who voted for Collins)
Richard voted for Donald Trump three times. Then the Iran war sent diesel prices soaring. Now he’s voting for Jon Ossoff. Here’s why:

I challenged Ken Paxton to a debate 85 days ago, but no one has heard from him. People are getting worried. I’ve received credible reports he's suffering from a rare condition that causes clinical levels of cowardice. @KenPaxtonTX: I am asking for proof of ability to debate.

Without the Russian troll farms to skew the comments, the comments section under Trump's own account is 99% hate posts against him, all top posts. No more manufactured consensus.
